All the teachers’ old favorites are still here though, meaning it will still be a joy to teach with. Lessons offer a balanced mix of language input, skills work and oral tasks, with a systematic and extensive lexical syllabus to enrich students’ topic-based vocabulary and develop an awareness of lexical patterns. All language points are clearly signposted and scaffold so there is great clarity of progression in learning.

Student’s Book – Structure and approach For ease of use and practicality, Straightforward Second Edition is structured to provide one lesson per double-page spread (A/B/C/D), each taking around 90 minutes to complete. All lessons are interlinked to promote better and more memorable learning, at the same time offering the teacher the flexibility to pick out key sections in order to focus on particular language points. Additionally, each unit provides extra material in the form of relevant communication activities, as well as unit reviews, saving the teacher valuable time.

Each unit contains: • 2 -3 grammar sections • 2 -4 vocabulary sections • 1 functional language section • 2 pronunciation sections • 4 -7 speaking skills sections • 2 reading skills sections • 2 listening skills sections • 1 Did you know? section

Teacher’s Book The Straightforward Teacher’s Book is one of the best around. Written by Jim Scrivener, it contains extensive teaching notes and extra tasks and ideas for every lesson plus more detailed notes on the language and cultural content of the Student’s Book material. Each Teacher’s Book is accompanied by a Teacher’s Resource Disc in the back of the book, with five short new videos from Jim Scrivener’s Learning Teaching Third Edition that link to the Straightforward Methodology sections above and show experienced teachers demonstrating the techniques.

Straightforward Digital allows you to display the Student’s Book pages while also making all of the associated multimedia assets (audio, video, interactive activities) instantly accessible.
